There was actually a breakout in 2011? Code4lib discussing Apache and using it
as a proxy. I believe Terry Reese and Jeremy Frumkin, then from Oregon?, were
the ones leading it. There was lots of interest but I’m not sure if anything
took off or if they have documentation somewhere of how far

Pennsylvania in Philadelphia). The course is THE MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPT IN THE
21ST CENTURY, and we (Will Noel and myself) are
If there is a demand for an EZProxy alternative, nginx might be a better way to
go. Nginx is a reverse proxy ootb, and it is very configurable. It is fast,
simple and, notably, it is fast.

Many good ideas in this thread.
One thing I'd just like to throw out there is that there are some ideas
that may be good to distribute in the form of virtual machines and this
might be one of them.
Proxying is needed by practically all libraries and takes little in terms
of systems resources.
I have an IT background and some apache proxy experience, and it seems fairly
easy - for me. I understand it may not be for libraries with limited IT
resources. I am not at all familiar with EZProxy, so I have to ask:
What is it about EZProxy that makes it attractive for those libraries with
It is ubiquitous in the library community, so support is easy to find.
There is also a lot of EZproxy support from vendors, who often post
EZproxy config setups for their databases on their support sites.

Not only that, but it's also expressly designed for the purpose of reverse
proxying subscription databases in a library environment. There are tons
of things vendors do that would be incredibly frustrating to get working
properly in Squid, nginx, or Apache that have already been solved by
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to move forward with organizing the
development and adoption of an alternative proxy solution?
A collaborative Google Doc? Perhaps a LibraryProxy GitHub Organization?

So what's the price point that EZProxy needs to climb to make it more
realistic to put resources into an alternative. At $500/year, I don't even
have to think about justifying it. At 1% (or less) of the cost of position
with little to no prior experience needed, it doesn't make a lot of sense

Even with razor thin budgets, this is a no brainer. May they need decide
between buying 10 new books or license EZProxy? Possibly, but if they have
a need for EZProxy, that's still a no brainer - until a solid OSS
replacement that includes as robust a developer /support community comes
around.

I think though that razor thin budgets aside, the EZProxy using community is
vulnerable to what amounts to a monopoly. Don't get any ideas, OCLC peeps (just
kiddin') but now we're so captive to EZProxy, what are our options if OCLC
wants to gradually (or not so gradually) jack up the price?

Tisn't necessarily Socialist to hedge one's bets. Look at what Wall St.
experts advise when one is unsure of whether to hold or sell. Monopoly is only
ever in the interest of those that hold it.

Exactly! OCLC already knows they are the only game in town, that is what drove
them to the new pricing scheme, so what is to stop them from jacking up prices
even more? They are the Gold, Silver, and Bronze standard, so maybe it is time
to develop an alternative, in the hope it will garner
